file(string filename [, int flags [, resource context]])

Reads entire file into an array

This what I got from a book 🙂
Shoot me if I know what to do 🙂

I have a file wich is loaded with results from a form and now I need to load it to an array and sort it.

I tried this but it only echos array array array and so on 🙁
help? 🙂

$england = file (englandhome.dat);

for ($counter = 0; $counter < 10; $counter++)
{
echo "<br>$england";
}

Basically, $england is an array.
You want to print the elements of this array.

//read file into array of lines
$england = file("englandhome.dat");
//sort array of lines
sort($england);
//get number of elements in array of lines
$size = count($england);
//loop through array of lines
for ($i = 0; $i < $size; $i++)
{
	//print current line
	echo $england[$i];
}

Note also that each line has a newline sequence attached at the end, so in some cases you have to [man]trim/man or [man]rtrim/man each line.

Wow thanks a bunch 🙂
The problem it seems is (when I fixed this)
that I actualy cant seem to append the file in a new line.
I have been bashing my head for 3 hours with that and now I am going to sleep its too late and I am tired 🙂
Thanks for the help once more 🙂

Add a league?
<form method="post" action="admin.php">
<input name="new_league" type="text">
<input name="number_of_teams" type="text" size="3">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
[code=php]
<?php
$add_new_league = fopen ("leagues.dat", "a");
fwrite ($add_new_league, $_POST['new_league']);
fclose ($add_new_league);
$leagues = file ("leagues.dat");
$size_leagues = count ($leagues);
echo "$size_leagues<br>";
?>

Choose the league to update!
<form method="post" action="admin.php">
<select name="chosen_league">

<?php

for ($counter = 0; $counter < $size_leagues; $counter++)
